Parejo could enter the top-20 of historical players this year

[KEPY™]

Dani Parejo fulfilled his official match number 300 with the shirt of Valencia in Ipurúa. It was a bittersweet celebration because the VAR snatched a victory from Valencia that could have made it end the year in a better way. Even so, the Madrilenian assured that it is "a pride" to reach this figure. "I'm happy, proud and satisfied. Playing 300 games with Valencia is not easy because of the demand that it has, that's why I'm very satisfied and I hope I play a lot more, "the captain said after the game.

Parejo debuted with Valencia on September 13, 2011, in a European competition match against Genk, at home. The game ended 0-0 but Parejo was the beginning of a path that few can boast of having achieved. With its lights and shadows, Parejo has reached 300 games in eight seasons. Something that only 30 players in history can say. The one of Coslada occupies the ranking 28 of players of the Valencia with more official parties, equaled with two myths: Quincoces and Roberto Gil.

But Parejo is not going to stay there. The Madrilenian finishes his contract in June 2020 but his renovation is on track with what will be many more years dressed in black and white, if nothing strange happens. It could reach the records of the greatest but, for now, what has to shot is to enter the top-20 of historical players with more matches as Valencia.

And he has many chances to do this same season, the Centennial, since he has 22 games left to reach the player who holds the position 20 in the ranking, Robert Fernandez (322). 22 are the League matches that remain until the end of the season but Parejo could also increase that number with the Copa del Rey and Europa League matches (at least four). Therefore, unless an injury appears, it will surpass the likes of Paquito, Mendieta, Seguí, Juan Cruz Sol, José Ramón Santiago, Marchena or Quique. And ahead will be only the 19 players who have played more games with the elastic ché in its 100 years of life.

These 300 parties are divided into 225 of the League (39 goals); 21 of Champions League (one goal); 19 Europa League (two goals); and 35 of Copa del Rey (four goals). At 29, he is in his eighth season at Valencia and is the first captain. Last season he fulfilled his dream of being an absolute international.

Historical in the party of legends
Many of the players that Parejo has ahead in the historical ranking of games, will be in the party of legends that will be played in Mestalla on March 23, against the legends of the Spanish National Team. Tomorrow, at 7:00 pm, in Mestalla, the presentation of the game will take place. The poster announces that there will be legends such as Albelda, Kempes, Claramunt, Ayala, Giner, Camarasa, Juan Sanchez, Subirats, or Angulo. Fernando will not be for work reasons
